29 gal freshwater sump part 5, building a wooden stand

[@deegee8128]

I've been looking at this video for a week and my heart is set on making the exact same design for my 29 gallon with 10 gallon sump, such a nice design, thank you!!!

[@geoeneas]

Best looking home built stand I've seen on KZbin. Good work.

[@jdofishtank6018]

Geoffrey Eneas thanks!

[@calvintran3390]

The best DIY build the stand I saw on KZbin, very simple and strong. Thanks

[@stevefehervari779]

Making the same stand thanks for all the help did all the calculations. Going to home hardware, haha there going to love me need them to cut it 27 times haha so I just go home and start putting it together.

[@fishywishes8150]

I build my own stands too. Home built is way better than the store bought ones. I really like how you used the plywood on the ends and middle. Great video!

Fishy Wishes Thanks

[@deegee8128]

Btw, how is the stand doing now??? Did that front top right knot ever become an issue and pop out??

[@madbotanyorganicfarmsllc1603]

Add some 2x4 across the bottom to get the sump off the floor. Then add one of Joey's DIY water alarm. Thekingofdiy, Joey.

Did you not like the hange on the back filters. Just curious was thinking about getting them. Is there s reason you changed

[@jdofishtank6018]

The Biowheels are great, I'm changing to a sump because I have American cichlids that get big and can break my heaters and the filter tubes that hang in the tank.

[@greenthumbaquariums1185]

Very nice! Doors wouldn't just be cosmetic. They will block noise and reduce evaporation if those happen to be things of concern to you.

Looks bitchin, this series is binge worthy haha. Anxiously awaiting the finished product and the sump up and running!

[@jdofishtank6018]

All About DIY Dude, I'm spending money I'm not supposed to be right now and I can't stop!

[@allaboutdiy1375]

JDO Fishtank it’s a full blown addiction, no doubt about it. I spent $60 dollars on peacock cichlids and a couple venustus for when I stock the 400 gallon again and I should have used for the pile of bills every month. I just figure if it makes me happy then F it. I can always make more money. Gotta be happy

Looks great Jason, I like the design and the bracing, it will look great painted. I would leave the front open, maybe add a curtain rod and black curtain for a finished look to the front. I have a painting tip that you may or may not be aware of... I’ve built a couple stands over the years, my best “looking” stands were sanded nicely like yours before painting. I would also run a bead of paintable latex caulking thru out the inside joints. As the painted stand dries out over the first month, they tend to shrink a little and the light mounted above your sump may “leak out”. This caulking will ensure a tight seal. - can’t wait to see your finished product. Nice video work.

[@jdofishtank6018]

HarrisonCountyStudio Thanks

[@Bloodhoundfostermom]

If you don't want to go to the trouble of Making doors you can do a presser mounted shower curtain rod/ regular pressure curtain rod and buy a black material or black plastic shower curtain ( cut it to customize fit) with black shower curtain hooks to match to hang the curtains to hide the sump...it looks great !

[@jdofishtank6018]

Melissa Berry Hmmm....interesting.

[@MELODYMUNRO]

Looks good. I wouldn't bother with doors.
